Chapter 02

Celesta's POV

“My love, do you trust mommy?” My mother asked me. I nod, confused why she asked me that.

“When I say run, you run, okay?” She told me. I got more confused.

“Mom, why do I need to run? Are the bad guys back again?” I asked my mother. She coughed out red liquid, she seems to be hurt but my mother just smiled it off. “Celesta, I need you run, okay? Don't ever look back, keep running, hmm?” She smiles and we heard a loud scary howl from afar.

She looked distress and turned to look back to me again. She smiles yet again making me feel calm and safe. She took of her necklace from her neck and her ring from her ring finger.

She puts the ring in the necklace, now the ring and the pendant are now hanging close together.

“Celesta, my love, always wear this and by doing that, I'll always be with you, no matter what." She caress my cheek and kisses me on the forehead.

Another howl was heard, but now it sounded so close. I looked at my mother scared, not knowing what to do.

But she hold me tight and planted another kiss on my head.

“Run, Celesta, run! Don't look back!” She says to me.

“But what about you? Mom, I don't want to leave without you.” I told her, my voice shaky in fear.

“Celesta, my love, don't worry about me. I'll follow you once I've led them away. Now, go!” She told me and I hesitantly ran.

I ran as fast as I could, I did all she told me to do. I ran and didn't looked back. I stopped once I felt I was safe and far away now, but I feared that I was too far for my mother to know where I am but I didn't move from my spot.

“My goodness, what do we have here?” I heard a man said. Then I felt someone grabs me aggressively.

I shrieked in shock and tried to break free but the one that was holding me was too strong for a child like me.

“Such a pretty one, you'll cost a lot of money for sure.” I heard another man's voice said.

I didn't know what happened next because I fainted after that. But all I know was that my life took a very bad turn.

I lived in a big mansion before, with my sisters, I missed them since I got separated from them while looking for food in the woods. But at least I found my mother after a long while in the woods alone but I only spent a little time with her, because again, I got separated from her because of those bad guys that always chased me and my sisters ever since we've escaped from the mansion.

And now, I'm here. In this cage, serving the Lord as a s*x slave. It could be worse, but this is worse enough for me.

My life since then became nothing but suffering for me, but I learned to numb myself and just do as I was told. They seemed to like my obedience because I always get the best food and I never received any beatings from the guards that roams the castle.

But then I heard a new comer arrive and she wasn't doing anything as she was told. So, I was called to show her how it's done.

I didn't dare to look up and just looked down on the floor. The master called me and told me to show the girl how "to play nicely."

I walked towards the master's friend and kneeled in front of him. I unbuckled his belt and pulled down his pants and under garments and strated to s*ck.

“S*ck it, Cece. Be a good girl and make me feel good.” The master's friend said and I s*cked faster and harder.

But as I was doing my job, I heard something crash and when I turned around the master was swung on the table and into the floor.

He was now unconscious. Then the two other friends of the master begun to attack the new girl (I still couldn't see her face very clearly), The two men was also knocked down by her effortlessly.

And now, the last one was the one that I was s*cking. He was shaking in fear and I swear I saw him pee before he came face to face with the new girl.

She also knocked him down, by just her not doing anything.

She then looked my way and I just now realized who this person is. She was the one that always held me when I got scared, she was the one that always made me stopped crying, the one that sung me countless lullabies to help me fall  back asleep.

She was the one that always protected me.

“Celesta, how have you been?” I sobbed and sniffled but I smiled afterwards.

“Adelaide!” I hollered out her name.

♡♡

Adelaide's POV

“Adelaide!”

She run towards me and hugged me very tightly, I hugged her back with the same way.

“Waahhh!!! Chandra, I'm here now! What happened? Did somebody hurt you? Did you get hurt? Oh my gods! Lady Hestia will be upset and punish me for letting you get hurt!” Galatea was now in her hysterical side.

“Galatea... Galatea, Galatea!” The third time I called her name was the time she snapped out of her hysteric self.

“By the grace of the Gods! You're alright...” Relief washed over her face and she smiled gratefully.

Her attention was now focused on the girl that is beside and the look on her face was reasonable. Her eyes held worry and sympathy.

“Galatea, don't sympathize her.” I told my spirit friend. And Celesta placed her hand at my shoulder and smiles gratefully.

“Well now, she must be cold with that clothing. We must go now and it's getting dark, the hellhounds and other monsters might get a sniff of your scents and that is not a good thing.” Galatea is right, we mustn't stay here long and with two of here, our scents are stronger, monsters will get one whiff of us and we're good as dead.

“Galatea is right, we must leave now.”

We left the place in a haste and went to a near city. We found an inn that we could stay in and checked in there.

Celesta has no clothes so I gave her some of mine, though it's a little too big for her but she says that's okay.

We were now laying down, getting ready to fall asleep.

“Hey, Adelaide?” I heard Celesta say quietly.

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Have you been looking for me for a long time now?” She asked. I smiled and fixing the loose strand out of her face.

“I have and it's not only you I'm looking for. I'm also looking for the others.” I told her. “Well, Have you found anyone, besides me?” I shake my head no.

She looked down after I told her that. But I lift her chin up and smile down on her.

“But down worry, I'll find them. I found you haven't I?” She nods. “So, there is no reason why I couldn't.” She grinned happily and I lulled her to sleep, just like before.

Morning came and we needed to leave, Galatea told me that she saw two monsters lurking near the place we were staying.

We are already far from where we were but it's better to be safe than sorry. We needed to be at least five cities afar to be safe enough from monsters for two days the least.

“Hey Ade, where are we headed now?”

“Where going to head New York, I heard Harmony are staying there. She were adopted by a couple a few years back, and now staying in there care.” I informed her.

“Ade, where are you getting these information from?” She inquires.

“Galatea is linked to me, she could access my memories, see them and once she sleeps, she'll have a vision in a form a dream, that dream contains information of you guys, that is how I always know where you guys are located.” I explained to her. She nods her head, absorbing the information she just found out.

“Does that mean, you'll always find us if ever we're separated again?” She warily asked. I sensed her wariness. I reached for her hand and clutched it tight.

“Yes, I'll always find you.” I lied. Galatea can find ones whereabouts by looking through my memories but that doesn't mean, it'll be accurate. She once had a dream that Czarina is in the forest of Brazil but I found nothing.

Galatea's visions is not my only source of finding the girls. I once prayed to the Goddess Hecate and the Messenger Goddess Iris for help to find the girls and they granted me the help I need whenever I do so, with the persuasion of Lady Hestia.

“That's a relief....” I heard her say quietly.

I'm sorry I lied to you, My little starlight, I'll tell you everything once I've found everyone.
